Hi everyone !

I am looking for a nice 28mm for my Leica M4-P. 

My question is quite simple

Should I go for a brand new Voigtländer 28mm F2 Ultron Asph Type II or a second hand Elmarit 28mm f2.8 v1 (1983) ? 

Both are the same price (around 850e)...

Well, hope you will help me with that !

Thank you !

Best,

Marwan
